Embed fonts' styles aren't included
Bold and italic styles are not included with embed fonts. They need to be included separately.
When embedding fonts within a text field you can only embed one style. If for example the font was Helvetica that you embed assuming you applied no styles to text field you would only be able to display Helvetica normal not Helvetica bold or italic. This creates a problem because you are able to display multiple styles within a text field when using dynamic text. If however you were include bold Helvetica in this example the letters simple would not appear. To get around this problem you can include multiple text fields with the same size and font but with different sizes. Whilst you will probably only use one of the text fields it ensures that other styles are included when the movie is published. This can be confirmed by generating a size report when you publish the flash this will include information about what fonts were embedded.

If anything is unclear or just plain wrong let us know and should ammend it pretty sharpish. If you visited the page with a particular question leave it and if it's flash related I'll try to answer it.
